It's time to remind ourselves what Desmond Tutu said…

"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor."

[Middle East Eye @MiddleEastEye]

Soumaya Ghannoushi argues that portraying the hijab as inherently oppressive denies Muslim women agency, saying women should have the freedom to wear or remove it without being forced to conform to someone else’s idea of liberation.

On behalf of YRM, Eid Mubarak to all Muslims celebrating. On this blessed occasion, as we mark the end of another Ramadan, we keep our oppressed brothers and sisters around the world in our duas. We pray for peace, justice and humanity to prevail. Ameen 🤲🏾 #EidMubarak

[York Region Muslims @YRMuslims]

The blessed month of Ramadan is upon us. A month of fasting, prayer, charity and reflection.

We pray for peace and healing for all those struggling and for steadfast resolve in the quest for justice everywhere.

Ramadan Mubarak! 🤲🏾🌙☪️ #Ramadan2025

Malcolm X

He said this much before the 7th October... In the 60s ...

His words seem to describe the current situation. Same occupation, same hypocrisy, same media propaganda... Nothing has changed, and resistance to oppression remains legitimate and right.

Right ?

@ShebaSid Sheba, this is an amazing adventure exploring nature, identity and heritage. The archives were telling, as to who was included in the registries and who weren’t. What an experience for you all. I will have to look into this for my family after reading this wonderful thread.

@iamIqraKhalid @melaniejoly @CanPalCoalition @nccm @IRCanada @CdnArabInst @NedIsmail Thank you MP Khalid. While other human rights violations are rightly condemned by the government, there is a blatant disregard for Palestinian lives and their seven decades of suffering. When will this change?

@HR_6IX Then the team becomes LA Raptors? 🤦🏽‍♀️

Six years ago a gunman took the lives of 6 Muslim men while praying in their Quebec mosque. 17 children lost their fathers. Today we remember the victims and survivors and continue the work to #endIslamophobia. 🟩#CentreCulturelIslamiqueDeQuebec @nccm
